55We had a good time! It was nice to be in a sheltered area for the dogs to run and play, but we got to stay out of the wind. Had a bit of trouble leaving as my car got a bit stuck in the mud. Next time we would just park before the mud or use a different vehicle. Madison P.

55Directions were clear. Nice big space for our pups to run around. We left the barn door closed because we have a new pup and she can't be trusted not to take off. Description of the barn and open(ish) area was very clear. Speaker for music is a nice touch. Great if the weather sucks. We'll bring a towel next time, as the dirt floor and drool/water make for some muddy faces. We'll definitely be back. Thanks!!Samantha L.

55Dogs had a great time. We took them for a walk outside on a leash first, because our whippets would for sure run away through the fence, and then had lots of fun off leash inside. Great spot for fetch and recall training. Will be back for sure. Mitch W.

55Brought my lab here today. Lots of space for her to explore inside the barn. Used her long line in the outdoor area. The host was quick to answer messages when I had questions. Bring your pup a water bottle as the dog bowl freezes with the colder Temps. Court L.

55All I can say is WOW! This is our dogs favourite place. We love the HUGE barn with so much space to run and some agility equipment, especially awesome on rainy days. The Bluetooth speaker adds to the fun! The garage door easily lifts up and leads to a large fenced outdoor area. This space is well maintained and very clean! We will be regulars! Amber J.

55We had an amazing time! It is such a great idea to have an indoor space, especially in the rainy weather like today or during the winter. We really enjoyed the obstacles and the Bluetooth speaker. Will definitely be back! The outdoor area is enclosed, but dogs may be able to fit in between the fence. This wasn’t a problem for us, but maybe if your dog doesn’t have recall skills stick to the barn. Definitely recommend checking it out.Amanda R.

55Fantastic spece for the dogs to run and play on a rainy day! Although the footing looks like they could get dirty, all 3 dogs left with nothing more than some dust around their paws; easily wiped off. We'll definitely be booking here again!!!!Darcie R.

55Molly loved running around in the indoor space. It had been raining pretty hard and she's opposed to getting wet lol. The indoor arena was a fabulous option! Bring your boots if it's wet or raining, it was quite muddy (Molly loved that too!)Meghan M.

55Great space. Indoor and outdoor. We used the indoor and it was a great way to have fun and get some exercise for my pup with all of this rain. The host was thoughtful and closed the doorway to the outside as I had indicated we wanted to use the indoor only. Safe, fun and a few agility obstacles for some focus exercises. We will be back!!!Denise D.

55This sniffspot is as advertised. If you follow the instructions you’ll be able to avoid the majority of the mud (ps it’s been raining heavily the days leading up to our visit and at the time of this review). It is a dirt barn so it’s smart to wear your hiking boots if you don’t want dirty sneakers.
We greatly enjoyed having a covered space to sniff around, run, train and play with the equipment. Space is big which allowed my pup to get up to a good running speed. Will definitely visit again. Stephanie H.

55Great spot! I have a big lazy bully so he was happy after 20 minutes of running around and throwing toys in the barn. I would recommend boots as the grounds are muddy at this time of year since they’re not fully frozen over. Meagan A.

55This space is amazing for your pups! Having the whole area to ourselves and not having to worry about other dogs was the bonus! It was easily accessible and easy to find. We didn’t use the outside space this time as it was extremely muddy but is also a great space . Stephen, the host is very responsive and friendly. It was easy to book online and the second dog is half price-I would have still paid full price as it was worth it!
Looking forward to booking again Laura K.

55Instructions to get in were clear enough to find my way there and into the barn area. Dogs liked running around chasing each other inside, I liked that it was warmer than being outside!

55This is always our favorite go-to spot. It's also conveniently on the way from our house in St. Catharines to where my parents live, so we make sure to stop in and tire the dogs out on the way. Having a nice indoor space for the boys to run around when the weather is crappy like it's been is a godsend. We make it more fun by inviting our neighbour and her dog (who is a playmate of our dogs).
As others have mentioned, the driveway was pretty muddy yesterday due to all of the recent rain, so make sure to wear your rain boots! The mud was only a small annoyance however, when compared to how much fun a Greyhound, Bullmastiff x, and a Newfoundland had together running around in the barn. 🙂Tara F.

FAQ about our Grimsby indoor dog parks
Are indoor dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by park users so you can find the perfect safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. Since indoor dog parks are completely enclosed, this adds another level of safety for your pup.
How can I find indoor dog parks near me?
There are 5 indoor dog parks in the Grimsby area. The most popular indoor dog park is . You can browse all of our indoor dog parks here.
How do I know if an indoor dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, indoor dog parks are a good choice due to their fully enclosed nature. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our indoor dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
No. We only allow one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits. So when you book a Sniffspot park you have the entire place to yourself and your dog-owning friends if you invite them. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings so you will not run into other park patrons when coming or leaving.
How much do Sniffspot indoor dog parks cost?
Indoor dog parks in the Grimsby area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive indoor dog park is Ballard-Fenced-Yard-Near-Locks. The most expensive indoor dog park is Ballard-Fenced-Yard-Near-Locks. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
Can I have an event or party at an indoor dog park?
If you are planning an amazing indoor dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
